On today’s show, I chatted with Nick Shaw who is the founder of RP Diet. Nick recently published a book we discussed called Fit For Success on why some people succeed in their goals, and others do not. It was a fascinating conversation I’m sure you will get a lot out of.
Nick is the Founder and CEO of Renaissance Periodization, a diet and fitness company founded on evidence-based practices to help our members achieve their health, athletic performance and physique goals. He is also co-host of the RP Strength podcast with wife - and RP colleague - Lori Shaw.
Himself a former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, Nick has also personally coached numerous world-class athletes, including CrossFit Games Champions, international medalists, Olympians, UFC fighters, professional athletes, and Navy SEALs. Nick holds a B.A. in Sport Management from the University of Michigan, where he helped establish a scholarship for undergraduate Kinesiology students, and from which he received the Early Career Achievement Award. Nick currently resides in Charlotte, NC with his wife and two kids
